Add the raisin eyes and use your pretzel sticks to make the butterfly antennas (you may need to break them in half).
Step 4

Use the pretzels (original twisted pretzels) to act as the butterfly’s wings. Set your creature out on a paper towel or plate to assemble.

Tips & Warnings

To add a little sweetness to the snack, use M & M’s for the eyes instead of raisins.
Mix it up a little by using different types of fillings for your butterfly’s body. You can use cream cheese, Old English cheese spread or peanut butter for the filling.
Make it a fun activity for your child to assemble their own butterfly and create a one-of-a-kind snack.
